It would be D because there is more gravitational forces acting on it than a small block of wood

If the objects are all at the same distance from the center
of the Earth, then the gravitational forces between the Earth
and each object only depend on the mass of each object. 
Those forces are least for the 5kg object, and greatest for
the 2,540kg object. 

The gravitational force that attracts each object toward the
center of the Earth is typically referred to as the object's "weight".

It's important to know that there's another force of gravity ... the one
that attracts the Earth toward the object.  And that one is equal to
the object's weight, but pulls in the opposite direction.

Your weight on the Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you.

A plastic rod that has been charged to − 15 nC touches a metal sphere. Afterward, the rod's charge is − 5.0 nC.
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.

(2) 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred

Explanation:

Given;

initial charge on the plastic rod, q₁ = 15nC

final charge on the plastic rod, q₂ = - 5nC

let the charge acquired by the plastic rod = q

q + 15nC = -5nC

q = -5nC - 15nC

q = -20 nC

Thus, the plastic rod acquired excess negative charge from the metal sphere.

Hence, electrons transferred from sphere to rod

B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.

2) How many charged particles were transferred?

1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C = 1 electron

20 x 10⁻⁹ C = ?

= 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons

Thus,1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred
